Stanhopea wardii

Or at least it is labelled Stanhopea wardii... I know these are often mislabelled. Smells great.

Looks good. Let us know how long the flowers last.

I took the picture on Saturday when they first popped, and they were already starting to fade as of this morning... I moved it from the greenhouse to the house to enjoy it, that probably doesn't help, but I wasn't expecting more than a few days of good condition. It has at least two more spikes coming, though.

It's a shame they don't last longer because they look and smell cool.

I just love Stanhopeas but don't get to see them in person very often because of their fleeting nature.
Your's is wonderful, Rob.
